Answer:
<em>3 hours</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Average speed of Willie = 40 km/h
After 2 hours, Gabriella traveled in opposite direction at an speed of 70 km/h.
After some time, they are 410 km apart.
To find:
Number of hours = ?
Solution:
For the first two hours, Willie traveled alone.
Formula for distance:
Distance traveled in two hours by Willie =
Now, they both travel in opposite directions.
So the relative speed is = 40 + 70 = 110 km/h
The distance traveled by them = 410 - 80 = 330 km
Therefore, the time taken is <em>3 hours.</em>
